29 May
Setting sail from Vancouver
Cosmopolitan Vancouver is a city that rewards exploration, an eminently liveable place and an easy gateway to the natural beauty of British Columbia. The culinary scene here is a particular draw, with seafood galore and some fantastic Asian restaurants.

At sea
31 May
United States: Ketchikan
Ketchikan is a great introduction to Alaska’s natural attractions, situated at the foot of towering Deer Mountain and within easy reach of the Misty Fjords. The colourful wooden buildings of Creek Street, the old red light district, are a reminder of Ketchikan’s former status as a rough and ready frontier town; these days, things are rather more civilised!
1 June
United States: Sitka
Sitka was founded by Russian fur traders in 1799 as the city of New Archangel, and there is still a discernible Russian influence here, including the distinctive St Michael’s Orthodox Cathedral. The town also enjoys spectacular natural surroundings, facing the Pacific Ocean and dramatic Mount Edgecumbe.
2 June
United States: Hubbard Glacier
The Hubbard Glacier, which straddles the border between Alaska and Canada, is the largest tidewater glacier in North America, six miles wide where it reaches the sea, and the glacier’s rapid advance means that giant icebergs regularly calve into the waters of Disenchantment Bay.
3 June
United States: Inian Islands
The remote Inian Islands, at the northern edge of the Inside Passage, create a natural pinch point where the waters of the Pacific Ocean are forced through a narrow strait, providing rich pickings for marine predators including humpback whales, Steller sea lions and puffins.
3 June
United States: Icy Strait Point
The port at Icy Strait Point was created to ensure that indigenous communities benefit from cruise tourism in Alaska, and the facility is owned by the local Tlingit people. Here you can learn about Alaska’s native culture and enjoy guided nature walks, whale watching trips or shopping for local crafts.
4 June
United States: Haines
Beautifully located next to the longest fjord in North America, Haines is one of the most attractive cruise ports in Alaska, surrounded by mountains, forests and glaciers. It’s also home to the world’s largest concentration of bald eagles, and a great place to spot grizzly bears.
5 June
Arriving in Juneau
Alaska's state capital is isolated and remote, accessible only by plane or by boat thanks to its dramatic hillside location. The wild hinterland is thick with forest, sculpted by the glaciers of the Juneau Ice Field, while down at the water's edge the harbour bustles with fishing boats and seaplanes.
Mundy Exclusive
Your fare includes: 7 nights in a Veranda Suite including: all meals, drinks, gratuities and taxes; overnight pre-cruise hotel stay in Vancouver; international flights; overseas transfers; up to 10% early booking savings when you book by 19 November 2024.

Our favourite hotel in Vancouver
If you’re not committed to the waterfront where the ships come in, we love the Rosewood Hotel Georgia.
Stay a little longer in Canada
If you’ve time, set aside a couple of days to travel to Knight Inlet Lodge for bear viewing.
